Critical Communications World will host the most international speaker line-up in its 19-year history

Critical Communications World (May 16-18, Hong Kong) is the leading and most influential congress and exhibition dedicated to connecting critical communications professionals for three days of thought-provoking discussion, debate and networking.

Hosting this year’s 19th Annual event in Hong Kong provides the perfect setting, with this year’s theme, focused on network optimisation and transition. With many areas in Asia and indeed across the rest of world looking to get the most of their current networks as well as understanding how they can smoothly transition to networks offering more functions, this year’s conference will attract senior thought leaders from all major projects to share their experiences and insight to meet the demands of the modern end user.

As well as the conference, delegates will also gain access to the speaker roundtables – providing intimate, focused discussion groups over lunch. On the pre-conference day, CCW will also offer delegates the opportunity to attend 8 half-day masterclasses whereby interested delegates can hear and engage with experts from the TCCA covering: An introduction to TETRA; an introduction to LTE; Critical Control Rooms and Data Applications; Critical Communications Security; The Unique Challenges in Transportation; SCADA and Telemetry; The Evolution of Broadband as well as Indoor Solutions.

Critical Communications World will also provide free content for visitors on the show floor, featuring a high-level seminar programme dedicated to Future Technologies, Data apps & control rooms, providing you with the opportunity to hear from end users and leading solution providers alike on the latest technology application case studies.

Emma Banymandhub, Event Director, Critical Communications World said: “CCW 2017 is shaping up to be the largest and most successful World event we have ever run in Asia. We are projecting more exhibitors and visitors than ever before and we will welcome over 120 of the industry’s leaders and experts to the Congress.

Hong Kong is a hub for Asia and beyond, so I expect to see the widest variety of delegates with whom you will have numerous networking opportunities to learn from their experiences – those that currently use analogue networks, those that use TETRA and other standard PMR networks and those that are looking for broadband solutions.

This is not just an Asian event. It is a global event. As well as Asia, we will hear from speakers from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas and have the opportunity to visit an extensive exhibition of the latest critical communications equipment and applications from around the world.”

Critical Communications World 2017 is presented by TCCA, in partnership with KNect365. This year’s major sponsors include Airbus, Huawei, Leonardo, and Motorola Solutions (Gold Sponsors) and Cobham, General Dynamics and Nokia (Silver Sponsors).
